What are we going to do today?  We have already discussed some questions!  We would do 2 exercises for the session.  Observations & Summary  Q & A “Make your learning pluggable, use NetBeans Platform”

Exercise #1  Lets go inside the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment. “Make your learning pluggable, use NetBeans Platform”

Observations  Wizards for Project, Files creation  Code Generator  Hyperlinks  Menus, Toolbars  Project Metadata  XML Layer “Make your learning pluggable, use NetBeans Platform”

Exercise #2  Lets go a bit deeper inside the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment “Make your learning pluggable, use NetBeans Platform”

Summary  Everything you did was possible, because of the existence of numerous plug-in modules, primarily developed by NetBeans Engineering Team.  Extra features, customizations done for personal use by community members. “Make your learning pluggable, use NetBeans Platform”
